Anyone on that list should be able to sue. And the entire company from ceo to secretary should face charges if any of those 600 people get hurt or die.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
A pro-life group was able to specifically target visitors to nearly 600 Planned Parenthood facilities in 48 states in America with anti-abortion ads using location data from a broker called Near Intelligence, according to US Senator Ron Wyden.
The ad campaign ran from November 2019 through summer 2022, which is when the US Supreme Court issued its ruling that allowed states to criminalize abortion – Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization.
Near also allegedly sold US citizens' location data to Uncle Sam – including the Pentagon, its intelligence agencies, and defense contractor AELIUS Exploitation Technologies.
"This is why House members should vote to pass the Fourth Amendment Is Not for Sale Act tomorrow when it goes to the floor," Kia Hamadanchy, senior policy counsel at the ACLU, told The Register on Wednesday.
"EFF thanks Senator Wyden for his continued leadership in exposing the privacy and other harms of data brokers harvesting our location information and selling it to the highest bidders, including police and anti-abortion advocates," Schwartz declared.
"Now more than ever, we need Congress and the states to ban police from buying location information from brokers, and to enact real consumer data privacy legislation."
